The Cautioner's Tale - 5th (final) installment

Image
  This is the fifth and final installment of The Cautioner's Tale, Mary Morgan's Journal Book 1.  The ebook and paperback editions are available on Amazon.com, as is the Mary Morgan's Journal Boxed Set . More information can be found on my website:  https://www.iamrmwilburn.com . (For the first four installments, please visit my previous posts.) Note: The Cautioner's Tale was written in 2017. Originally, I had no intention of continuing the idea into a series, but in the end found that I had more to say. The process of paralleling my story line with events that took place in the real world has been a great stress-reducer, but also a fearful awakening.  Next, I'll begin serializing The Rescuer's Tale, Mary Morgan's Journal Book 2. Please stay tuned.

A Terrifying Glimpse of Our Possible Future

Hello and thanks for visiting. It's been quite some time since I posted here, but having recently finished my graphic novel series Mary Morgan's Journal, I've decided to share it here in serialized form. Before going on, please understand that these books are political satire set in a dystopian near-future that is based on current events. If you are a fan of the current U.S. regime, you are not likely to be a fan of this series.  Before beginning, a little background on why I wrote and illustrated these books. I've had a lifelong passion for writing, have written a few books previously, and have developed a  somewhat insane obsession for Photoshop. Bringing these two passions together was all I needed to create what I believe is an altogether new graphic novel format. Keep in mind the format and I are both still progressing. As for the story, it came from my solemn belief that we are worse off as a nation now than we were four years ago. I am a veteran of the United Sta

Hello, and thanks for visiting. It's been a busy week and is about to get even busier in the coming days. As you can see by this photograph of Erbyn Waryer - a character in my upcoming book The Hero's Tale ( Mary Morgan's Journal, Book 3 ) - I'm under threat to work quickly. Getting back to full speed work on The Hero's Tale after a couple of months renovating a 1905 Victorian can seem like quite a leap when I first consider it, but it's actually a welcome change, like settling back into a favorite old leather chair and wondering, "What have I missed since I've been gone?" By virtue of being an author-illustrator, I not only hear my characters' answers, but most often, I see the characters as well. They are not always pleasant, nor are they patient, but our relationships have their rewards.   Last week, I talked about that swanky silver seal I was awarded from Readers' Favorite for the first book in my Mary Morgan's Journa
